Bengaluru: After the release of "The Kashmir Files" and "The Kerala Story", another right-wing propaganda movie has been announced. The upcoming movie named "Tipu" will be based on the life of Mysore ruler Tipu Sultan.

According to a report from the Times of India, the movie is being backed by Eros International, Rashmi Sharma Films, and Sandeep Singh. It will be directed by Pawan Sharma and researched and developed by author, Rajat Sethi.

The teaser of the movie was recently released wherein Tipu has been portrayed as a ‘Jihadi’ and ‘Tyrant’ ruler who killed, imprisoned and forcefully converted to Islam, several Hindu families.

Despite being celebrated by many as a brave warrior and a freedom fighter, his legacy is still hotly debated, with some groups seeing him as a hero while others view him as a tyrant. The right-wing fringe groups in the recent years have used Tipu for polarization and to create communal divide between the communities. The announcement of the film "Tipu" is likely to stir up further controversy and ignite debates over Tipu Sultan's true legacy.

Speaking about the project, filmmaker Sandeep Singh said, "I was shocked to learn the true reality of Tipu Sultan. The story gave me goosebumps. This is the cinema I personally believe in."

Director Pawan Sharma added, "What we are taught in school about Tipu Sultan is gross misinformation. Through my film, I am daring to show a brutal reality that has been manipulated just for us to take him to be a warrior hero."

Meanwhile, Rajat Sethi stated, "Tipu is one such historical figure whose adulation and admiration is overrated, while his cruelties have been neatly concealed in our textbooks. This movie is a humble attempt to initiate a course correction on his narrative."

The movie will be released in five languages - Hindi, Kannada, Tamil, Telugu, and Malayalam.

Another user questioned the timing, asking, “How can all book at the same time?” while a separate post wondered, “Why is everyone booking LPG at 11:45 AM?”

Many netizens joked about the posts. One wrote, “Everyone is booking LPG gas cylinders at 11:45 AM, and surprisingly it’s getting delivered in two hours. IT cell has some special gas agency. Is it LPG or Naale ka Gas?” 

One urged, “Please tell these hundreds of people to book at 11:45 AM too,” sharing a photo of people standing in ques.

“Booked an Indane Gas LPG cylinder at 11:46 AM today and it wasnt delivered at my doorstep by 2:30 PM. I asked the delivery guy, why didn't he deliver. He replied cylinders were delivered only to people who booked exactly at 11:45 AM,” wrote another. 

 

One user asked, “What was the auspicious occasion to book at 11:45 AM?” while another tweeted, “I am going to book a gas cylinder at 11:45 AM tomorrow, hope Modi Ji will deliver it by 1:30.”

“I want to ask one thing… If I book an LPG cylinder tomorrow at 11:45 AM and the gas agency is unable to deliver it by 1:30 PM, will it be free like Domino’s pizza, or will I get it at some discounted price? BJP IT Cell experts, please confirm so that I can book my LPG cylinder tomorrow exactly at 11:45 AM,” said another humorously.
